<h2 class="first-header">Message from the Dean</h2>
<p>Welcome to Concordia University's Faculty of Arts and Science, home to some of the most innovative classroom teaching and cutting-edge research in Canada.</p>
<p>Our Faculty continues to transform and rejuvenate itself through exciting new programs and courses and a high-quality learning environment. This past year alone, in an effort to continue to meet the ever evolving needs of our students, we introduced the Minor in Human Rights Studies and the Minor in Law and Society. The Faculty also welcomed 20 new tenure-track professors. </p>
<p>I invite you to visit the pages of our website where you will find information for future students, current students, faculty and staff that is reflective of both our long tradition of excellence in teaching and research, and the innovative changes the Faculty has undergone in the past few years. You will also find information about upcoming events and research news, as well as have access to <a href="http://artsandscience.concordia.ca/newsandevents/connections/">Connections</a>, the Faculty&rsquo;s newsletter.</p>
